I am still in - sincere - awe of the OP photo examples. It is something that Kubrick would have been all over.

You’re right; this style can be also be used while creating videos.

Pink Grapefruit IR photography is the most difficult to achieve. On a cloudy day, the result is not as nice as the result on a bright sunny day. But when you get it, it's quite extraordinary.

Since then, I've proposed Retro-Pink IR photography. It's done with a Yellow-Green filter:

Then there is the Candy Pink IR photography. In order to get it, you need two filters: a Yellow-Green one and a Cobalt Blue one:

Candy Pink IR photography is the most predictable. You get it on sunny days, on cloudy days, early in the morning and late in the evening. In a nutshell, anytime.

But my new favorite style is the 'improved' Candy Pink IR photography. Three filters are needed: a Yellow-Green filter and a Cobalt Blue one (like in the 'classic' Candy Pink IR photography), to which a third filter is added; a Blue 80A filter.

Look at the gorgeous result:

If you have two minutes, I'd like to know which style that you prefer.

Andy1712, since you like my IR shots, I'll tell you a secret: if you take an 'improved' Candy Pink IR shot and boost saturation during post-processing (and maybe lower slightly the brightness), what do you get? Scarlet IR photography!

In the past, people who take IR shots were limited to B&W conversion or channel swapping. Now we can use filters and create our style.

So Andy1712, be wild and be creative!
